Dogecoin, a so called altcoin, fights against the downslide of the general cryptocurrency market. Upper charts are Dogecoin and lower are Bitcoin for comparison. The daily chart at the right shows an upshot of about factor three in about two weeks.

It is somewhat astonishing that Yahoo also chose Dogecoin…
